Non-Starter

Ive had my audi (1998 2.5 TDi Quattro) for a mere 4 months now and after discovering a couple of minor problems with the car I now have a major problem which Im hoping someone has seen before.
Last weekend my car suddenly stalled &amp; since then Ive been unable to start it. I got it toad to my mates house since he knows quite a bit about cars so he could take a look. He initially thought the problem was with the fuel pump but on closer inspection he said its working fine but it seems the fuel is leaking back to the tank. Could there be a valve or device that is cracked causing a leak on the pressure side of the fuel line in the tank causing this circulation problem? If so is it a common audi fault?
Im beginning to get worried that this is going to be expensive to fix since it looks like a garage will have to strip down the unit to workout where the problem is.

Any advice would be much appreciated - I need to get back on the road!

The 2 minor faults(minor as in I can live with them but ideally get them fixed) both occur when the car is cold.

1. The concert stereo volume control jumps between min &amp; max (it's fine when the cars warm!). It would be useful to know if its fixable or better just rip it out &amp; fit a different stereo?

2. I think its called the compressor! (star-shaped icon that appears when you press the auto button for the heating), just wont stay on when the cars cold but fine when warm. I would guess that this would be quite expensive to fix but it doesnt affect the car warming up &amp; holding the required temperature so Im not quite sure what it actually does.

First problem is stereo just replace it...strange how it gets better when warm bizarre????
Second is Air Con Star shaped button would not think it would come on as it will wait for the car to heat up first and matters what temp you set car to.........As you say as long as the car heats up thats all that matters
